After stepping out from behind her former moniker Lady, a throwback jazz/soul act, Kate Faust has transformed into a sultry electro-pop songbird on her latest EP Crucial Companion. Inspired by the songwriting of Bjork and Kate Bush (and I also hear a bit of St. Vincent), I can easily see her melting hearts with each performance. Faust will be opening this evening at The Boot & Saddle for Canadian singer-songwriter Basia Bulat, who has done her fair share of melting of hearts with her earnest, soulful vocals and poignant lyrics. These talented ladies are sure to make for an unforgettable night of music. The Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 9pm, $12, 21+ – Maggie Grabmeier
